The custom OF wiring" books instead
ot sesving the sheets together. was i'm
ported. w believe, from America, and IS
there used almost universally. Even
costly scientific trcatises receive this
ahominablc treatment. Here it is at pres
ent used chiefly for the cheap and cphem-
eral literature. which perhaps it is not
unsuitcd for. But book buyers should
refuse to take copies of valuable books
that have been wired. All that i1 neces-
slry 10 avoid receiving them is to state
when ordering copies that wired" ones
will be refused. If the publisher declines
TO supply sewn copies, the buyer should
order the work in sheets and have them
bound up by a competent bookhinder.
The extra trouble and cost will not be
wasted. 1t is unnecessary to explain
the mlschiefs arising from the use of
wire; they are palpable On inspection, -

PREPOSTROUS.

Judge Crozer. of Leavenworth. has
again suffered himself to be betrayed into
the conceit that he Is bigger man than the
state of Kansas, and that his personal
notions and prejudices are sufficiently i'm
portant and powerful to render void the
will of the people of Kansas as expressed
in the provisions of the metropolitan police
law. Judge Crozier, in the reasons which
he assigns, seems, as do all those iurists
who take similar view of such matters. to
forget that the state in absolutely every-
thing that appertains to the welfare of its
citizens, police regulations included, Is
supreme, and that it has al unassailable
constitutional right to pass any law it
pleases to that end Judga Crozier and all
tAe legal luminaries who entertain similar
views on the question Of the right of a
state to enact such statutes as are necessary
to effective police regulation, will wake up
some fine morning to- find that 8 man NAV
be very learned and distinguished Judge,
and at the same time be too blinded by
prejudice and too much of legal bigot TO
take cognizance of certain hitherto unaues
toned legal principles.
The foregoing from the Atchison Cham.
pion is the most refreshing piece of infor-
nation, II 1t may be called such, we have
seen snent this metropolitan police usurp-
ton act. If the position taken be
correct what is the use of having consti-
tuition at all. Evidently the writer of the
article quoted knows very little of the gen
Jus Of our political institutions and less
about the science of law. A man must.
indeed, be blinded by prejudice to assume
that supreme power can be delegated to
legislative body and that Its acts cannot be
tested before any Judicial tribunal. Such an
idea Is the very essence Of centralism which
would dispense with the coordinate branch.
es of republican government. the very bull.
wark Of civil liberty. The idea Is prepos-
ferrous and unworthy Of entertainment by
any intelligent American citizen.

4 pretty severe arraignment of his own
party, but frankness Is one Of Mr.. Waiter
sons most prominent characteristics. The
temporiSing policy of the Democratic party
has cost not only cost it much, but the
country as well. However, as regards the
true interests Of the laboring people there is
no Use for them TO look TO the Democratic
party for assistance In any respec; nor Is
there any real occasion for separate pollt
ical organization with the hope Of material
betterment of the labering mans condition.
The Republican has always stood by him
and defended his cause, even when it cost
something to do 1t, and there has never
been time when the platform Of the Repab-
ican party did not afford room enough for
the honest laboring man to stand on 1t with
both feet.
